The rush to define Rep. Hakeem Jeffries as "corrupt" while simultaneously saying WE HAVE NO IDEA WHO THIS GUY IS is a pretty big tell from many on the left who are dedicated to sabotage unless they're put in charge.
They don't want Black leadership unless its on their terms.

A lot of us have been screaming for years that when folks rail against "establishment Dems" they're talking about Black folks.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries and his elevation as Minority Leader I think is going to illuminate this.
A lot of people are going to reveal themselves.

The other thing about Jeffries is he's unapologetic, does not suffer fools and fine w/ confrontation
Traditionally this is not something them other folk accept from Black leaders
Particularly if you believe you can tell us what to do but it should NEVER be the other way around

Also this needs to be said.
If you don't vote for Democrats ...
If you only vote for third parties ...
If you believe in the "establishment Dem" slogan ...
NOBODY GIVES A FUCK IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE SELECTION OF JEFFRIES AS MINORITY LEADER.
Nobody asked your peanutheaded ass.

I'm tired of folks who hate Democrats or spend all their time trying to either run the party or convince people to not vote for Democrats or not vote at all trying to dictate how we run the party
FOH
This also applies if we have to literally beg your ass to vote every two years

The ppl who told folks NOT to send money to Democrats for the midterms or who prioritized #CancelStudentDebt over reproductive rights for years or who yelled I WILL NOT VOTE HARDER after Dobbs have thoughts about Jeffries being Minority Leader?
Yeah we not doing this with y'all.

More background on how Jeffries is being blamed for this “feud” when he essentially just responded to being called “an enabler of a racist system.” (H/T @DmitrysPlane)

He didn’t start this “feud.” She did.
Also this is terrible judgment on her part.
It was a well known secret for years that Jeffries would replace Nancy Pelosi.
THIS is the first guy you beef with?

Bri Bri Gouda Gums is no fan of Jeffries.
I can see her arguing for white progressives to ignore us because its "identity politics" and "race reductionist" to point out their hatred of our chosen Black leadership.
Made a similar argument in 2018.

These folks see Black folks as an impediment to power. And they routinely argue only their handpicked candidates should have control over our communities and oppose the candidates we trust.
Wonder why that is.
